Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1645
The box office of "Star Trek 4: Rescue the Future" has slipped to the second place, and "Life of Dawn" officially surpassed it with a score of 3000 million.

The following "Rush Hour" also reached 8000 million, which is only 4 million behind "Star Trek 3000: Saving the Future".

In the next two weeks, Lin Daoqiu predicted that it would not be a problem for the two dramas to win a box office of 9000 million US dollars.

But after the release in North America, "Rush Hour" and "Life of Dawn" will also open screening plans in other regions.

MGM's overseas distribution was very bad before, and it was also because there were no good movies.

However, since Lin Daoqiu became the boss of MGM, the overseas distribution department is one of the focuses of Lin Daoqiu.

Lin Daoqiu specially recruited a team with rich experience in overseas distribution from other film companies to be responsible for MGM's overseas distribution.

"You don't have to worry about the Asian region. I've already negotiated the places in Neon, Hanguo, Xiangjiang, Baodao, and East Asia. You need to focus on areas other than Asia."

The places Lin Daoqiu mentioned are almost equivalent to his back garden, so there is no need to exert any force at all.

For Lin Daoqiu, he hopes that overseas markets can bring him at least 1.5 times the North American box office.

But judging from the current situation, including other film companies, such as Paramount, Universal, Fox, etc., the combined overseas box office they can get is almost the same as the box office in the North American market.

The box office results of the entire Asian region, excluding the perverted movies like "Godzilla", fluctuate at most from 5000 to [-] million US dollars.

If you want to get more box office revenue, MGM's overseas distribution team must find more gold mines.

It’s just that besides the European market at this time, such as Latin America, Africa, and the Arab world, these three regions have a large number of populations, but their consumption power is still very limited.

Instead of spending time on operating these three regions, it would be more practical to spend more effort in Europe.

Lin Daoqiu is also very aware of the current situation, but he still gave the distribution team a death order. Within three years, the box office of movies released by MGM in Europe must reach at least half of that in China. This is his minimum requirement.

…………

The Chinese New Year comes in the first month, and the Spring Festival in 87 is January 1.

No matter what, Lin Daoqiu must return to Xiangjiang for the New Year.

Fortunately, the releases of "Rush Hour" and "Life of Dawn" are coming to an end, and the next step is to let the leading actors leave the United States for a promotional tour in Asia.

Lin Daoqiu can also take the opportunity to return to Xiangjiang for the Spring Festival, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

The difference from before is that Lin Daoqiu does not need to attend the promotional activities of "Rush Hour" and "Life of Dawn" this time.

Since there is no concept of Spring Festival in foreign countries, they have finished their annual vacation after the biggest Christmas.

So director Terry Leonard took the two protagonists of "Living by Dawn", Pierce Brosnan and Maria Dabo, and started their promotional tour in Asia.

Lin Daoqiu and Jackie Chan flew back to Xiangjiang. Jackie Chan was a person who couldn't stay.

This time "Rush Hour" has achieved a box office record of over [-] million in North America, and Jackie Chan, who is in a good mood, is also planning to do a big promotion for "Rush Hour" in Xiangjiang.

Although Hollywood is not his home field, the situation in Xiangjiang is reversed.

"Rush Hour" was distributed to [-]% more theaters than "Life of Dawn".

And not only in Hong Kong, but also in other parts of Asia, which shows how popular Jackie Chan is in Asia.

But for Lin Daoqiu, the matter of movies should be put aside for the time being. He has been away from Xiangjiang for so long. Although he often calls his wife overseas, he has not seen her for a few months. Difficult to make a decision.

And if other people find out, then I will have to go back and forth, but it's impossible not to meet them.

While Lin Daoqiu was still struggling with this problem, just as he walked to the airport hall and was about to leave, Lin Daoqiu suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eyes.

I saw a girl wearing sunglasses standing beside a car looking at me with a smile.

Lin Daoqiu remembered that he didn't tell anyone that he had arrived in Xiangjiang, how could she come?
"Don't look at me like that, I'm at the airport today to see off my friends, it's just a coincidence."

A few minutes ago, Brigitte Lin sent a friend from Baodao onto the plane, and when she was about to go back, she suddenly found Lin Daoqiu walking out of it.

"Even so, you can lie to me and make me happy."

Lin Daoqiu smiled and stretched out his arms and walked towards Brigitte Lin.

But before she had time to hug her, Brigitte Lin smiled and walked away.

"You are crazy, with so many people around, do you want to be on the headlines tomorrow?"

Brigitte Lin gave Lin Daoqiu a blank look, and then quickly got into the car. Now Xiangjiang's paparazzi are appearing more and more frequently. It is because she doesn't often film, so she seldom meets him.

But even Brigitte Lin was a bit disturbed by the paparazzi of Xiangjiang, and stayed at home when she was not working, so as not to be annoyed by those paparazzi.

After handing over the luggage to his subordinates, Lin Daoqiu also got into the car with Brigitte Lin.

"Tell me honestly, after staying in the United States for so long this time, how many foreign sisters have you found for me?"

As Brigitte Lin spoke, her hand had already touched the soft flesh of Lin Daoqiu's waist. As long as the other party's answer could not satisfy her, Lin Daoqiu would be doomed.

"What are you talking about? I'm not interested in those foreign girls at all. If I have you, will I still provoke other women?"

The first half of Lin Daoqiu's sentence made Lin Qingxia very satisfied, but the latter half of the sentence hardly made her happy.

Just staring at Lin Daoqiu with a smile and not speaking, it can be seen from Lin Qingxia's eyes that she doesn't believe Lin Daoqiu's nonsense at all, at least she doesn't believe the second half of the sentence at all.

"I've come back to spend the New Year with you, isn't that enough to express my sincerity?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Lin Qingxia pitifully, and almost couldn't help laughing out of Lin Qingxia.

However, she seemed to be moved by Lin Daoqiu's words, and took the initiative to withdraw her hand from Lin Daoqiu's waist.

"Don't use these words to coax me, but if you have a conscience and know that you will come back to celebrate the New Year with me, I will spare you this time."

Lin Qingxia didn't intend to argue with Lin Daoqiu, at least she was the first person he saw when he came back.

If Lin Daoqiu hadn't been the first to see her when he returned to Xiangjiang, then Brigitte Lin might not be as easy to talk to as he is now.
